      Pros

      Opportunities to learn, flexible hours, good health packages and great people on my team who encouraged me to ask questions. They took good COVID precautions and if you are able to work from home they encouraged it, and helped you set up a workspace.

      Cons

      There was always something going wrong in the company that caused layoffs, so it made anyone new uneasy. I was told as soon as I started to make sure I saved money, because as soon as the union contract was up for renewal there would probably be a halt in production or a strike, so be prepared to not work for a few weeks. No paid maternity leave, you have to use sick time. Maybe I was just unlucky and was there at a bad time during the company with the 737 production shutdown and COVID, but I hope things for boeing get back on track.

      Pros

      Working at Boeing gives you hands-on experience on commercial aircraft, which is highly valued across the aviation and aerospace industries. Exposure to high-quality standards, FAA regulations, and precision manufacturing builds strong technical credibility.

      Cons

      Many assembly tasks can be repetitive, which may feel monotonous over time. Precision work is critical, so attention to detail must be maintained constantly.

      Pros

      Excellent work-life balance compared to many aerospace companies. Good benefits (healthcare, retirement, PTO).

      Cons

      - Five days per week in the office - Parking can be challenging. - Working across multiple time zones (U.S., Brazil, India) creates coordination overhead - Compensation is not competitive for the Seattle area. - Limited opportunities for meaningful career growth. While there are internal career paths, I haven't found many opportunities that align with the technical challenges and responsibilities I'm looking for - SPEEA's seniority-based structure can slow advancement for newer employees - Programs have very long development cycles, so it can take years to see your work become a finished product - Less exposure to cutting-edge technology than companies focused on emerging products (space, medical devices, AI hardware, quantum computing, etc. Significant bureaucracy and slow decision-making
